Started our Labor Day retreat in Martha's Vineyard at Nancy's. The vibe is everything here. Overlooking the harbor we scanned the menu while listening to reggae music. We started off with a spicy salmon sushi roll. (good). Next we shared a Shrimp Nancy (superb), fish tacos were mediocre since they were under seasoned and became soggy from being platted with the salad. Margarita had too much ice and not enough tequila and the same for their Mexican mule( tasty but weak). We will return to try their delicious looking shrimp or scallop baskets. read more

Location fabulous, food good but small portions of whole belly fried clams for $42 for the plate. Definitely tourist pricing.

Nancy's was phenomenal. From Franklin's outstanding service, care, and conversation with us to the quality of the food served. Highly recommend if you are in the area and need a place with a view to grab a bite. The lobster salad roll was delicious with large chunks of lobster in every bite. We will definitely return next time we are in the area. read more

The location is great, the upper patio has a nice view onto the Marina so it's a good spot to enjoy the sunset from. I ordered the clam linguini which tasted fine, but lacked flavor overall. Maybe some salt, pepper and a squeeZe of lemon could have elevated it - overpriced otherwise - not worth the $32 they charged for it. It came with so much liquid sauce that I asked for some bread, for which they charged me another $2. Go for the views, but if you want to go for the food, this isn't it. read more

Spent 3 days in Oak Bluffs and stayed at a BnB. I asked the inn keeper where to grab lunch on the day I arrived and he mentioned Nancy's. Boy was I happy to make my way down to the marina and grab lunch at Nancy's. I had the lobster lunch which was a 1.5 lb lobster with potatoes and corn on the cob. The lobster was awesome!!!! I washed it down with a Blue Moon. My wife had the BOYB lobster tacos and they were great also. I was not able to snap a pic of the BYOB lobster tacos but the presentation was nice. It was a half lobster with all the taco trimmings. I highly recommend Nancy's and it is a must visit place while in Oak Bluffs. read more

Nancy's has an excellent location great for day drinking, watching a sunset, or having drinks with friends at night! If you go to Nancy's, go for that and appetizers. I tried the clam chowder, Nancy's roll, cod fish tacos, and the Gigi. My clam chowder was ok. Not the best you'll get in the area, but better than the chowder served out of state. The Gigi was underwhelming. The cod fish tacos were disappointing. They tasted completely bland and I struggled to eat them. Nancy's sushi roll was the star of the night. If I returned I would focus on the appetizers and sushi. read more

Every blog, post, article and book I read mentions this place. Believe it was Melia Obama's previous place of employment, but don't quote me on that. Anyway, it was hard to passed up. We opted to order take out along the side as opposed to sitting down upstairs. There is self seating out there and very crowded. We went back to the house. Lunch for a family of four was $120 without beverages. It was delicious. Lobster roll, warm was the better of the two. Slathered in butter and wrapped in great fresh toasted bread. Lobster roll, traditional tossed in mayo and wrapped in same great roll, was good too. We had a pint of fried jumbo shrimp, classically prepared and cocktail sauce was good, very horseradish forward. My son had the bacon cheeseburger, says it had good char and plenty of bacon. Large fries and buffalo wings completed our order. My daughter wants to return for more wings before we go home. Friendly and efficent service was the icing on top. Worth the wait. It was packaged neatly, survived the bumpy ride despite all the butter and sauce. read more

I am extremely happy that I made it to Nancy's on the last night of my week long trip to Martha's Vineyard. The entire experience was near flawless! Franklin our server was friendly, extremely attentive, and come to find out he was new to Nancy's. The food was delicious. I have to highly recommend both the Mussels that we shared and the Clam Pasta. They both came out sizzling hot and seasoned to perfection. I ended up ordering not 1 but 2 Coco Loco Margarita's to wash it down, what a refreshing cocktail thanks to Franklin. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be going back my next visit. Highly recommended!!! read more

Went to Nancy's for the first time when visiting Martha's Vineyard. I enjoyed the Caliente Fresca as a refreshing slightly spicy mix. The mac and cheese was quite good, but very filling and rich. I ended up eating about half. No complaints with the amount of lobster included in the dish and it wasn't super cheesy, which I appreciated. read more

Nancy's - view from our seats - Seafood Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Atmosphere: It's right on the pier. Beautiful place. Always packed. Indoor and outdoor seating. I mean it's Martha's Vineyard, You know the vibe. Wait time for seating: 25 mins to an hour (it really depends). Make reservations Order to table time: 10-15 minutes (not bad at all given how packed it is) Food: I ordered grilled salmon. It was cooked to perfection. With that many people, I thought the food wasn't going to be as good but I was surprised. One of the people in our part ordered their lobster roll and love it. Overall a great place. If the wait is long no worries. There's plenty to do. Also, if you're getting frustrated due to longer wait. Don't be in Martha's Vineyard, you're killin the vibe bro read more

Excellent service, the staff is incredibly accommodating. The food, on the other hand, wasn't as great as I'd expected based on the reviews. Two of us were excited to get the lobster mac & cheese and sure it tasted pretty okay, but for the price -- frankly, it was kind of disappointing. The portion size was small. The cheese sauce consistency was watery and not as flavorful. Most surprisingly -- there wasn't much lobster meat. I could've gotten more lobster meat had I ordered a lobster roll for a cheaper price. Beyond that, they make their drinks strong, the views are gorgeous. But, the food isn't too great. read more

The food is always better than the last visit: lobster rolls and seafood platter are always amazing but I hate being rushed!

My friend ordered the watermelon feta salas with salmon. The salmon was served raw and my friend is pregnant so she can't have raw food, which we explained. We sent it back to the kitchen. After a 30 minute wait with no new salad sent out, we asked if we could either get it to go or get our money back. They kept insisting at this point that it was coming right out. Everyone else was finished eating so we just asked if it could talk to the manager about it being taken off the bill. Waiter came back and said no it can't be taken off the bill. I asked to speak with the manager again and explained that the food came out raw. He said the salmon is prepared medium rare and we said that was now a medium rare, at most it was rare cause the fish was not cooked all the way. Again asked if it could be taken off the bill, then he said well you can't keep it and have the amount taken off the bill. We told him that was what we were asking for since she never got to eat was just the refund from the bill. He then agreed and walked away. Then we were at the table just talking about how that salmon looked more like sushi raw than being cooked medium rare, and the manager approached again with a very nasty attitude saying that they do serve sushi at this establishment. I said well she didn't order sushi did she? It was supposed to be a cooked salmon that came out raw. He tried again to yell at me and at that point I said, are you trying to go back and forth with me or just bring our check? Then finally the waiter came back and brought our check and apologized. We thanked her and left and went to anothe restaurant so my friend could actually eat dinner. That terrible manager's level of customer service is the reason I will never be back to Nancy's after going there for 15 years. It is a convenient spot but the food is mediocre to have such an attitude. Get a new manager that actually listens to customers concerns and doesn't try to start arguments. What a mess. read more

This place is a beautiful place to end the day at Martha's Vineyard! I definitely recommend to sit at their upstairs terrace for beautiful views of the marina at sunset! We started off with the Dirty Banana. It definitely lived up to all the hype! It was the perfect balance of sweet and strong! We then ordered the food: it took a bit long to receive, but there was a lot of people considering it was 4th of July weekend. The wings were excellent. I wish the calamari had been a bit crispier, but the plum ginger glaze was a nice sweet touch. The only negative is the terrace area is first come first serve. This may get a bit hectic with busy weekends! Overall good experience! read more

I'm going to keep this short for you guys but be cautious going here and make sure you don't have Franklin as your server. I've been coming here every night for a week and a half and I order the same thing every night, a plain bacon cheeseburger. This guy brought out a cheeseburger with spicy mayo and some other stuff on it so I just asked him to bring it back to the kitchen and get a new one and he argued with me and was pretty rude with my father and escalated things with him for no reason. He continued to sit there and argue and ended up ruining the dinner with his antics. I've been coming here for a while now and never had a problem with anyone else as they are all great servers but watch out for this guy. read more

Lobster Toll not so good. Was hard and without flavor. Fries were terrible try using real potato's instead of cheap manufactured product. Still have heartburn for a $50 lunch. read more

Nancy's food was just ok. Given it's waterfront location, the quality of seafood was a bit of a let down for me. I had fried scallops...and although they did give you many scallops in a plate, the texture of scallopss was a lil too fried/dried on the outside (although still plump inside). The food was more along a bland side, too though. Service was just ok. They weren't super attentive or anything. The gave a customer in front of me a wrong order and forgot to give me a coleslaw that came with my scallops plate that I had to go ask for it once I realized that. Overall, an ok/touristy place to people watch along waterside. However, I wouldn't think of it as a place to have great, tasty seafood. read more

I have been going to Nancy's for more than 30 years. Never again. We were served lobster with liver inside the tail which is apparently a delicacy. Not in the U.S., although the manager said his parents love it. It was disgusting, he wouldn't take it off the bill, or replace it with a new one. Worst experience. read more

Nancy's - Half lobster with dirty rice my freinds enjoyed it very much - Seafood Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

I went to Oak Bluffs during the July 4th holiday week in Martha's Vineyard for the first time. Nancy's had been highly recommended to me by various friends who reside on the island during the season, so I decided to go there for lunch right after I got off the plane from New York. It offers indoor and outdoor dining options. Both levels of the establishment were filled to the rafters so be prepared. The first people I met were DeeDee and Victoria who are part of the staff. They are amazing servers and best friends and made me feel right at home. They took great care of me. After I finally checked into my Airbnb, I decided to head back there later that evening for dinner. They greeted me with big, warm smiles and were happy that I had returned so soon. I met friends there later that night and during the week, including a close girlfriend who I was vacationing with. I arrived in OB a day before her. All of the food I had was delicious! They have a very extensive menu with different price points so there's something there for everyone. My favorites were the warm lobster roll (I didn't try the cold, which is usually my go-to), the lobster dinner, which my girlfriend and I really enjoyed. (It's served with small potatoes and corn on the cob.), oysters, and their delectable sushi selection. Everything was on point. For drinks, everyone seemed to be enjoying the dirty bananas, which is really just a mudslide blended with a half banana. It's their signature drink and hugely popular. So if you're heading to MV, be sure to head to Nancy's and tell DeeDee and Victoria that JuJu sent you! Have fun and travel safely. read more

This restaurant has a gorgeous view of the sunset if you're sitting outside on their upper level patio, and they turn on the heat when the sun has set, which is a nice touch. The lambert's limeade was good, and the side salad tasted acidic. The fish tacos were alright, although (if you're not a huge fan like me) the cilantro will be a bit overpowering. Overall an okay flavor combination. read more

Food is really good here. I was told by our waitress that they have a very good sushi chef here. It did not disappoint. The Alaskan Roll and MV roll was delicious. The fish was fresh and the rice was on point. Burger was good! Lobster Roll was good! Shrimp fries were good! Fried clams were good! The only thing was that bothered me was that we were seated at the table with full sun. We asked to move to a table with an umbrella or shade and was told they could not. There were 4 empty tables with umbrellas or shade but they could not accommodate us? We finished our meal and none of the people in the empty tables showed up. read more

I was told to come here for the lobster rolls, and I am so happy I did. The lobster rolls were absolutely delicious. I even went up for seconds. This is an "order at the counter and retrieve your own food with the buzzer" type of place. The patio outside was very casual. The food was so delicious even to the point that people were sitting outside in the rain, under umbrellas, just to enjoy the food. I will definitely choose to have my vineyard lobster roll here again . A good lobster roll is not only determined by the yummy lobster, but the crusted buttery bread underneath. Enjoy! ~Nini read more

Best thing is the location, view and service. Our waitress was very attentive to my niece's food allergies and made sure that we didn't have any worries. Most of the table got the baked or fried fish taco with fries and those were pretty good. The fish was cooked appropriately and the fries were great, hot and crispy. The spicy coleslaw on the tacos needed more spice/seasoning or the fish needed more seasoning. The taco shells were warm and lightly crisped up, although flour and i prefer corn (what a brat, right?) Those who got salads requested dressing as they seemed to be missing it on both side and entree salads. Note we are not the types to drown a salad in dressing - the lettuce was DRY! Portions are good sized and filling to get you ready to walk the island. Expect a wait in the summer so plan to come in advance of being super hungry. The prices are what you expect at a water view, vacation destination -not a bargain but where can you get one on the vineyard?. The bar seemed busy so I assume they pour a good beer or cocktail. We always seem to come back so overall we enjoy the experience fine. read more

Nancy's - Baked fish taco and fries - so much food - Seafood Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

This is definitely more a tourist spot. The vibe is great. The food is... food. They do make good drinks however. My one recent pet peeve and turn off about this spot is that they give guests buzzers as they wait for their food. Since we are currently in the COVID-19 era, I feel like this is not safe or healthy. I think text messaging or just calling out numbers/names is a better approach. read more

I had the lobster roll and "mixed greens". The roll was small and the salad was literally just mixed greens, no other toppings. The lobster was cooked fine and tasted good but just not worth what I paid because of the small amount of food in my lunch. I would not recommend. What saved this review was the ambiance of the restaurant. Lovely dinning room and nice view. It is not a view of the ocean though. This restaurant is not positioned to view the ocean. It's more of an inlet that you're looking at. read more

This restaurant is in the PRIME location of Oak Bluffs. Beautiful views of the water and dock. Place can get pretty crowded during the summer. Has indoor seating, outdoor seating, and seating upstairs. A variety of food options but primarily seafood options. Although this is a great location and popular spot, the food was just average. I had the fish tacos and they definitely lacked seasoning. California rolls we had as an appetizer was not bad. The shrimp and grits had a great presentation but was just 'okay' in terms of flavor. Service was fine overall but food was definitely subpar. If you are in Oak Bluffs, there are better options but its a nice view. read more
